5/10 (LS): Lone Star Derby (+ 2 TX Stallion S.)

[dylbert]

Hey, gotta give props to my friend's horse, Ferdinand's Flyer, who competes in today's Texas Stallion Stakes (9th race). FF tuned up nicely in 6 furlong dash on April 27. He ran well and came out of race ready for this one. Owners and trainer will concede that 8.5F is not his best distance. However, he may get part of exotics and, if Gold Coyote has off day, take top prize.
